Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs Janet Fullerton lodged her ET1 in September 2019. The tribunal recorded a long procedural history with repeated postponements and relistings, including hearings listed for January 2020, May 2020, March 2021, June 2021, August/September 2021, December 2021, and September 2022. The tribunal said the delays, apart from the Covid pandemic, arose from matters relating to the claimant and not from the respondent, although it did not consider that the claimant had acted in a blameworthy way.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
